Last year KPH coordinated it. I gave him the top 20 in alphabetical order and he got people to write blurbs and formatted them all into post format (with the img tags and everything) then sent it to me and I sorted them into the proper order.

And might I suggest a word limit to aim for? Last year some of the blurbs were very long and others very short.

Chase- you're in charge now. After I get the results, I'll send you the alphabetized list. Maybe I'll run a preliminary results this weekend so you can have some idea sooner.

Darrin- It may very well be after the 17th.

Yeah... mine wasn't that long, but it was still well over the words limit...

I'm up for writing one again this year too (if possible)...

also, will have to be something I've heard and like I suppose.
